This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Spending time in nature helps many people, including myself, maintain their mental health. I try to make time every week for a hike in nature - with friends - and I also take a few solitary walks along the beach too.This year hasn’t been easy and many of us have had to find new ways to feel good, stay well, and uplift our wellbeing. For Mental Health Awareness Week this year we're being asked to reimagine what wellbeing looks like – together.
Nature/Te Taiao has been one important tool to help us get through this year. Making time to enjoy nature is important for everyone, including those who work outdoors.
Soaking up the mauri of the ocean, getting out for a hīkoi in the bush or taking notice of the beauty around us - these are some of the simple things we can build on to look after ourselves: www.mhaw.nz
